ClubReady vs. Phorest

Overall, we like it and appreciate it's functions as a company. We appreciate that it does almost everything that we need and use. As previously stated, some of our executive leadership wants certain reports that ClubReady does not have and we do not have the ability to create custom reports

It's well suited if you own a salon and are looking for a software to manage all of your needs - stock/inventory, staff schedules, client bookings and rebookings. It's more salon focused than clinic focused (e.g. if you have a wellness center it's not ideal for consent forms for example). Changing staff price offering is a bit time consuming.

• Scheduling
• Sales
• Checking members in

• Appointment scheduling
• SMS Reminders
• Rebooking SMS
• Support
• Managing Clients

• We cannot create custom reports
• Certain membership packages are hard to create
• With deals we have for personal training, we cannot audit memberships

• Better UI/UX - more intuitive to use
• Better customer service support
• Would prefer more hand holding during onboarding experience

We use both of these simultaneously. Hubspot talks to ClubReady and updates deals and new prospects for us. Hubspot is not as user friendly which can be more frustrating. With training so many part time employees we love the easy to understand feature ClubReady has since we have people of all age rages using it.

Phorest is a more modern software, although it can still be more intuitive to use its much better than other options out there. I feel it works great for someone who has been using salon software for many years and wants to upgrade to something more modern, or for someone who is switching over from pen and paper to manage their appointments

• Cost effective
• ROI is great
• User friendly

• More organization
• Helped with business processes
